Hi
I'm very happy that MP now has native support for the X10 remote control. I have one. However I'm having a problem trying to map the buttons. When I go into Mapping its fine if there are no conditions to a button, but if I try to specify a condition I get an exception error when trying to apply the settings. It also deletes the custom x10.xml file.Below is a copy of the error. Not to sure how to map the keys yet, I'm just experimenting so I could be doing something wrong.
Details of Unhandled exception.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

x10 remote control mapping

Hi Butler,

It looks like you've a similar remote control than I. Mine is a "MD1 NBC Remote Control" from Medion/Aldi and I figured out that there are indeed some custom mappings to do for this model. One of the funny things is, that the vol+/vol- keys have been swapped.

Here is the layout of the remote control:
www.blueshell.com/dl/mc/x10Mapping.htm
This is my custom mapping file:
www.blueshell.com/dl/mc/x10.xml
(The latter file should be put into the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\custom\ folder)

Using the media portal version from today, I had no problems to do edit these mappings.

Best regards,

Harry

Had the same problem when adding some commands, like window-tvfullscreen.

I have been editing the xml file in notepad, which when I reloaded in the keymappings showed OK.

It does the same with CVS 02-26-2006-01-01
The latest does not have this problem?


Also action keypress does not work for me.
For instance I hoped to implement "x" for fullscreen switching
I used key 120 as well as 88 conform the ASCII code.

Pressing the key on the keyboard works fine and shows:

Code: 
key:120 0x78 (2)

and does its screen switching.

Using the remote it receives the command, gives the cursor.wav sound, says "Action mapped", but doesn't switch the screen.

Hi
I'm still getting the odd exception error when mapping within MP. Have not tried to modify the XML file yet. Need to study it a little more to see how it works. I have also noticed another small bug which I would be grateful if someone else could test to see if they get the same thing. I place my PC in standby when not in use, but when it comes out of standby all the buttons on the remote act as if they had been pressed twice. Have to close down MP and restart to correct.

Edit: Just downloaded latest CVS and seems to have cured the exception error, but the double press bug still exists

Thanks
Paul

Tried it here, it gave me the same result.
The remote utility shows one command: key-on -> key off
Mediaportol log show two commands: key-on -> action mapped; key-on -> actionmapped; key-off; key-off

I'm still getting the odd exception error when mapping within MP

Yeah could map more now, but still got the error when I did a quick test with the latest CVS.

I will do some more testing and document the problems and errors concerning the x10 control.
I've unfortunately not much time till the weekend (long days this week :roll: ) to do so.

Done a complete reinstall of windows and MP over the weekend. Installed latest CVS, but still have the problem of the double press on the remote. The mapping does seem to be sorted now. Hopefully will be cured on the 18th March when the new release is available
